Playlist - February 1, 2013

"Aloha Kaua`i" brings you the music of Hawai`i -- from yesterday, today, and tomorrow -- culling from my personal library of vinyls, cassettes and CDs. The broadcasts are live on Kaua`i Community Radio every Thursday and Friday 7-9am (HST). Listeners on-island can tune to 90.9FM (north shore), 92.7FM (Moloa`a and Anahola), 91.9FM island-wide -- or listen online at kkcr.org. For lyrics and translations to island mele, visit huapala.org.

Free sound clips and details about the CDs you hear on "Aloha Kaua`i" can be found at MELE.COM -- with a search engine to help you find your favorite musicians, songs, album titles, and styles of island music.

About Me

I am a Hawaiian music programmer on KKCR - Kaua`i Community Radio, broadcasting my "Aloha Kaua`i" Hawaiian music shows every Thursday and Friday morning (7-9am HST). You can listen online: www.kkcr.org

After creating and launching the first online Hawaiian music retail website MELE.COM in 1995, I decided it was time to retire and sold it in 2009. It is still considered the #1 source for island music CDs and DVDs:
